Depends on the fuel available to you. Given the low sulphur (lubricity) content of USA fuel, I use additive on EVERY tank of fuel I put into my diesel truck and car.

Also depends on how cold it gets where you are. In very cold climates (regularly below -20c or so) an additive that provides protection against the fuel gelling is almost a must.

220cdi never made it to America.
When diesel additives are not needed on regural basis, modern diesels tend to gum up intake more than the older ones.
Don't know if your engine has intake flaps, but those are maintenance items on engines above 100k miles.
Latest news say that BG and Liqui Molly makes "miracle in the bottle" who with special procedure can clean the gunk and at the time some stuff is advised inside the tank.
